Is Wales an independent country in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Unless there is a tradition at the United Nations of displaying the flags of subnational entities, it seems this is the case.
The big question is how this has happened. By some metrics, Wales is exceptionally distinctive, with a Celtic language still widely spoken and diverse distinctive cultural traditions. Against this, perhaps because of the very late formation of Wales as a coherent entity compared to Scotland, Welsh nationalism was late to take off. Even now, Plaid Cymru and outright separatism are far from having the mass support of their counterparts in Scotland.
Thoughts? Would you need an earlier POD, to make the Welsh language be a bigger cause?
